The Safe Haven Within
Today, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj reminded us of the safe haven we carry within us, which can serve as our refuge from the difficulties and storms of the outer world. Life in this physical world is riddled with difficulties and obstacles, he said. Our attention is constantly drawn to the attractions and distractions of life, keeping us entangled in the outer world.
With time, however, we come to understand that everything we seek and experience through our physical senses is temporary and fleeting. Unless we awaken to the realities of our existence, we continue to live in a dream-like state instead of making the best use of our life, which is the soul’s golden opportunity to find its way back to God.
Saints and spiritual Masters speak of a sanctuary within us that we can retreat to, untouched and safe from the pulls of the outer world. When we turn inward through meditation and focus on this haven, we can uncover the treasures of Divinity that lie hidden within us, waiting to be discovered. There, nothing can distract us, trouble us, or bring us pain. The key to navigating life’s challenges lies in discovering and experiencing this safe haven with the guidance of a spiritual Master.
